Libido Pill

Libido Pills – Herbal and Pharmaceutical

There are a lot of myths about aging putting an end to your sex life. The good news is, the generalisations are usually wrong, and even if you do need a bit of a boost there are libido pills available to give you a helping hand.

And the very famous class of erectile drugs, the so-called PDE 5 inhibitors like Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and others, will give men an erection but do nothing at all for your sex drive. And if you have a low sex drive they won’t give you an erection either. So you will need a libido pill before these types of erection pills will work for you.

All require prescriptions and close monitoring by a specialist, as this remains a fairly new area of medicine/research and even the experts cannot yet agree on the exact level of deficiency at which testosterone replacement should commence.

Testosterone for Women’s Libido

Australia is a world leader in studying the role of testosterone in women’s health, and much of the research has been carried out at the Jean Hailes Foundation in Melbourne, a national women’s health organisation dedicated to research and education aimed at Australia’s 3.3 million women aged 35 to 65 who constitute 20 per cent of the population.

Professor Davis told The Age newspaper that the quest to enhance female sexual desire has been a difficult road, due to societal taboos ("Many people still don't like to think of women over 50 being sexually active") and the more complicated sexual desire mechanisms of women ("Just increasing blood flow to the genitals, as Viagra does in men, isn't the right solution").

Testosterone ‘Won’t Fix Failing Relationship’

The Jean Hailes Foundation advises testosterone therapy may be beneficial for women who have significant symptoms like loss of libido, fatigue and diminished wellbeing. But it will not be the answer for a woman whose low libido is related to a poor quality of relationship, depression, or loss of wellbeing from other causes.

Currently no form of testosterone therapy is officially approved for Australian women under the Therapeutic Goods Administration, but it is has been prescribed for years in public hospital specialist clinics and private practices for postmenopausal women with low testosterone levels.

Testosterone can be taken as tablets, by injection, as an implanted pellet, skin patch, gel or spray – although not all forms may not be available yet in Australia.

Contraceptive Pill to Boost Libido

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Australian institutions took part in the research to support the development of Qlaira, an oral contraceptive containing a natural form of the female hormone oestradiol.

The pill was developed for women with heavy periods but may also act as a libido pill. About five per cent of women experience low libido on some contraceptive pills because they also lower testosterone. The natural oestrogen in Qlaira was said to reduce testosterone loss.

Herbal Libido Pills

Sexually enhancing herbs have been recognised and used in traditional medicine for centuries and are enjoying new prominence and popularity amongst those who prefer natural to pharmaceutical treatments.

Libido Pills for Midlife Sex

Science says sex is good for you. It might even help you live longer. How many more reasons do you need? Sure, some days you may not quite feel as ‘vigorous’ as in your youth, but don’t make that an excuse for accidental celibacy.
